Do you know the name of this instrument? Have you heard it in any song?

Hello. Any idea about the name of the instrument that enters at 1:02? Is that a theremin?

Thanks a lot.

Update:

I know it's a synth. The question was: does it have a name? I've heard it in many other songs. So it must have a name.

    It's a computer generated synth, someone sits at a computer turning knobs to generate a sine wave which they edit to eventually achieve that sound.
